It started when I shoved a bunny my grandmother gave me into a piece of an old Halloween costume. My search for inspiration had carried me to my closet and deep into a box full of toys and trinkets left over from a simpler time. I dug around and messed with a few stuffed cats before inspiration struck me like a mack truck. In a world where children play with dolls dressed up like zombie hookers and video games a bit more violent that a MMA fight the toys of my childhood seem like a far cry from the new norm. So I altered them a bit to fit in with today's toy standards.

I admittedly did not do a lot of planning. It seemed the more I thought about it the harder it became to come up with an idea, so I took the messy route. After dressing a bunny up in fishnet the other images just came to me. Almost as if it was obvious I had planned on defiling my stuffed animals that day. The background of each picture is wood paneling from one of the rooms in my house. Wood paneling is always seen as being kind of cheap and trashy, it seemed to fit with the pictures. I had highly underestimated how difficult this project was going to be. It is a simple enough concept to understand, but it's a bit more difficult to picture.
